Astudillo and Arraez

[Ncgo4]

While we're all crazy over Astudillo, please remember we've got another one almost like him on the 40 man roster, Luis Arraez:

 

Minor League stats:

 

                                  Astudillo                    Arraez

        

           

           At Bats               2266                        1223

 

           Average               .306                         .330  

 

            K's (#)                    81                          114

 

            K's (ave)              .036                         .093

 

Both are not fast and both are not svelt.  But wouldn't it be fun to have turtle 1 and turtle 2 batting about .320 never striking out and putting lots of men on base for the meat of our order?  By the way Astudillo is hitting .500 right now, but Arraez is clocking in at .571.

 

Forget about Kirilloff, Larnach and Lewis, we've got "Dos Tortugo"!

 

Just saying.
